With any blog of any significant size, and number of readers, the 10 most popular posts will not necessarily account for all reader activity. And if the referer spam is being directed against any 1 of the 10, that individual post will also show traces of the referer spam.<br /><br />After you have been using Stats for a while, you will know what referer spam looks like in each display, and you'll know how to ignore it. And eventually, when the blog has enough reader activity, you won't even see the referer spam - it will just be transient noise.Nitecruzrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069634565746003311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-2901718443872738412012-12-23T08:55:35.932-08:002012-12-23T08:55:35.932-08:00So, as a victim of this referer spam, will I get a...So, as a victim of this referer spam, will I get a more accurate pageview count if I only look at the individual posts stats? They seem to not include the spam counts but I am no longer sure of anything to do with stats and my blogs. <br />Thanks for your time<br />MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294286740510002073noreply@blogger.com
